Advise for a Son


Proverbs 23

My son, let your heart always remain wise,
I'm glad for I know youll have a surprise;
What a joy when you say the right things,
It makes my heart to cry out as it sings;
Don't let your heart start to envy a sinner,
Keep the fear of God inside to be a winner;
For surely your inheritance is your reward,
If you keep the faith abiding in God's word;
Pay attention as I give you all this advise,
Guide your heart wisely with your eyes;
Beware of those who get drunk every night,
Who wine and dine till the dawning of light;
You'll be broke and thrown into the gutter,
No one will even hear help that you utter;
I hope that you are listening to my advise,
And respect your mother never to despise;
My son, ensure your heart remains true,
Let your eyes delight in my ways for you;
Beware of the harlot that waits in an alley,
She's waiting for you to make your finale.
